This is my first tutorial, so be kind to me. The people have spoken [link] so I spent several hours putting together a 14-page tutorial on some basic scripting techniques. Instead of providing fish, I thought I'd spend some time teaching how to fish.
Once you read through it, you should have no problem understanding the basics of what a script is doing, how to make some modifications to it, and even how to take a sample flame and make a script out of it.
I plan on doing a more advanced tutorial as well, but this one covers creating flames and transforms, modifying the transforms, and adjusting how the flame ends up in your preview window.
If you have any suggestions after reading it, I'd love to hear them in your comments. If you find it too hard or too easy, I'd like to hear that as well. If it ultimately helps you write one (or modify one in a useful way), I'd *love* to hear it.
Just used your instructions to write my first script from scratch... because I'm doing a challenge and can't figure out how the variations are interacting, so I wrote a script to randomize the whole shebang and I'm going to keep hitting the run button until I get something I can work with!
I am new to using Apophysis and this guide has been very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to put this together and share with those of us still learning.

Thank you for the Scripting tutorial. I'm just getting started, so I'll have to work my way up to your info, but I've downloaded the basic Apophysis & have started playing with it and looking for basic info.
